Great, another ” …
Great, another ” Weight loss because of Water ” idea. I’M SO SICK OF THESE! I wish they would just find ONE…1…person who actually got lean doing nothing but drinking cold water. That person doesn’t exist. Alien life, Big Foot, and the guy who got lean from drinking more cold water.

Just quit drinking …
Just quit drinking soda and sugar, make it habit to drink water for every meal. After a while you will not even want a soda and if you drink it there will be a gag reflex. The best part of this video is the “gabriel method” ad showing up on this video. LOL

Steve is basically …
Steve is basically right. The specific heat capacity of water is 1 Cal per Kg per degree Centigrade. Say you drink a glass of cold water has 355ml (= a can of soda) at 10 degrees Centigrade. Your body raises the temperature of this water by 27 C (human body temp is 37C). This action requires 0.355 L * 27 C * 1 Cal / (C * L) = 9.6 Cal… So, one cold glass of water might make you burn 10 Cal… That’s about the same ad 90 seconds of cardio.

higher water intake …
higher water intake= momentary weight gain, lol. however, it helps ur muscles function properly like oil in an engine and flushes out toxins. so in a sense, higher water intake will increase fat loss but keep in mind, there is always too much of a good thing so dont go drinking 2-3 gallons a day.

drinking ice cold water does help you burn -some- calories… maybe he got the 30% mixed up with 30 calories. lol. 30 calories sounds more accurate.

This is not …
This is not entirely true. Maybe not in regards to the email you speak of but you need to drink water to lose weight. When i go on a diet and if i don’t drink2-3 Ls of water a day….i do not lose weight at all…Even when my food intake is the exact same with or without water. The fact is, water helps you lose weight.

Steve is 100% right …
Steve is 100% right, but I belive the empty calorie thing is just a “stamp” they put on calries that dont give you anything, like vitamins and minerals. Like alcohol or soda, yeah i know there are 0,004g of natrium per 100ml of pepsi max, but that doest count:)
